  Hi @anoddbook,

  Absolutely! You can make changes like that using some custom CSS.

  In case you’re not familiar with CSS: It’s a coding language that’s used across the web to change the appearance of websites. Here at WordPress.com, you can use custom CSS to change certain parts of a theme’s default design.

  To add custom CSS: First navigate to the CSS panel of the WordPress.com Customizer.

  Below the introductory text in the resulting editor, copy and paste the following CSS to change the style of the theme’s captions:

  .wp-caption-text {
      color: #999;
      font-size: 14px;
  }

  In the above CSS snippet: Replace #999 with any hex colour code of your choice to change the colour of the caption text.

  If you’d like to experiment with different colours, try a few Google searches to get a list of hex codes and their corresponding values. Here’s an example of a site that I’ve used before:

  http://www.color-hex.com/

  Similarly, you can Increase/decrease the value of font-size to your liking.

  The following can then be used to change the style of blockquotes:

  .wf-active blockquote, blockquote {
      color: #999;
      font-size: 28px;
  }

  As before, you can tweak the color and font-size.

  If you’d like to make further changes to the styling, please post to our dedicated CSS forum here:

  Staff and volunteers on that forum specialise in CSS questions and, if you post specific questions and details on how you’d like to change the theme’s style, they’ll be able to assist.

  Thanks!
